Abstract
An exercise support system configured to support at least a portion of a user's weight is disclosed. The exercise support system may include a base assembly including a plurality of frame members defining an interior region of the system. The system may also include a lift assembly comprising a drive assembly and an arm assembly. A body support (e.g., a seat) may be configured with the arm assembly. In general, the base assembly provides support to the lift assembly, and the lift assembly provides the mechanism(s) and forces to raise and lower the arm assembly (and the body support) thereby supporting at least a portion of the user's weight.
Claims15
A body support exercise system comprising:
- a frame portion;
- at least one upright rail coupled with the frame portion;
- a carriage coupled with the at least one upright rail and adapted to move along the at least one upright rail;
- a movement mechanism coupled with the carriage and adapted to apply an upward and/or downward force to the carriage;
- an elongated member with a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end coupled with the carriage;
- a body support member coupled with the distal end of the elongated member;
- wherein the movement mechanism applies an upward force to the carriage to move the carriage and the body support member upward.
A body support exercise system comprising:
- a frame portion;
- at least one upright rail coupled with the frame portion;
- a carriage coupled with the at least one upright rail and adapted to move along the at least one upright rail from a first position to a second position;
- a movement mechanism coupled with the carriage and adapted to move the carriage from the first position to the second position and to subsequently hold the carriage at the second position;
- an elongated member with a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end coupled with the carriage;
- a body support member coupled with the distal end of the elongated member;
- wherein the movement mechanism moves the carriage from the first position to the second position and subsequently holds the carriage at the second position, thereby moving the body support member and holding the body support member at the second position.
